Module Fees 2017/18

All astronomy
distance learning modules are standard modules with 20 national credits.
Details of the University’s Tuition Fee policy, including refunds in case of
withdrawal or suspension of studies can be found here.

The module
fee does not depend on the module or on the target award (eg BSc (Hons) or
University Certificate). However, it does depend on whether the student is
classed as a new student or as a continuing student.

New Students

A new student
is any student who is starting a new award.

In 2017/18
the new student (20-credit) module fee for all new Home, EU and Island and
overseas students will be the University’s standard fee for Part Time Distance
Learning students:

2)Continuing
students who started their current award in 2015/16 or before
will pay the same module fee in 2017/18 as they did in 2016/17.
See current student pages for details.

The Course
Team has endeavoured to keep its part-time distance learning courses at an
affordable level, despite the introduction of fees of roughly £9000 per year
for full time undergraduates. We note, for information, that this would
correspond to £1500 per module.

Fee reductions

1)Students in receipt of the UK state
retirement pension are eligible for a 50% reduction in the module fee.

2)Regrettably
UCLan is no longer able to offer a fee waiver for UK students in receipt of
certain benefits.
